dependent exemption which he is
entitled to claim on his federal return pursuant to Section 151 of the
Internal Revenue Code; plus an allowance equal to $1,000 for each
$1,000 he is entitled to deduct from gross income in arriving at adjusted
gross income pursuant to Section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code;
plus an additional allowance equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 eligible for
subtraction on
his Illinois income tax return as Illinois real estate taxes paid during
